The sustained IGF-1 elevation maintains muscle protein synthesis rates throughout the day, which benefits subjects with severe muscle wasting
Compared with many plant-based protein sources, whey delivers a higher concentration and superior bioavailability of these amino acids, supporting efficient muscle protein synthesis, tissue repair, immune function, and normal metabolic processes
GLP-1RA Mechanism of Action GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) is a hormone secreted by the intestinal tract during feeding, which enhances insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon secretion in a glucose concentration-dependent manner, and delays gastric emptying to reduce the amount of food eaten through central appetite suppression
High levels of IGF-1 may also make it easier for certain types of cancer cells to withstand chemotherapy
This pathway is the primary energy source for the heart and a major energy source for skeletal muscle during sustained activity
